Missouri Sues Televangelist Jim Bakker For Selling Fake Coronavirus Cure

tulc · Mar 11, 2020

Bakker and Morningside Church Productions have violated Missouri law by "falsely promising to consumers that Silver Solution can cure, eliminate, kill or deactivate coronavirus and/or boost elderly consumers' immune system and help keep them healthy when there is, in fact, no vaccine, pill, potion or other product available to treat or cure coronavirus disease 2019," the Missouri Attorney General's Office wrote in its application for a temporary restraining order. Bakker and his company are based in the state.

Good. And NY has put a gag order on him. In times of crisis the clowns do sure show up.

There are several proven 'cures' in Europe, used in the medical clinics for the last hundred years.
IT only becomes "false" when the pharmakeia doesn't like it, doesn't profit from it, and their lobby gets their way in federal courts/ laws and so forth.

They oppose everyone who seeks to alert people to the truth, everywhere.

Not that Jim has anything in his favor - it might just happen that he was seeking profit more than to set people free with the truth.

They can throw the book at Bakker again, that's fine. But I want them to throw it harder at "Doctor" Sherrill Sellman who actually made the claims.

Gads! My sister has used colloidal silver for years (actually decades- my opinion is it's money down the drain.) It's her go-to "medicine" for all kinds of things. Not sure if she used it for the virus but if she did, it didn't work since she and her husband both contracted covid (they recovered fine.) I'm glad they pulled the plug on this guy. Likely there's more like him out there.

Except for the time he spent in prison for defrauding Christians as far back as the 70s that I know of he never stopped.

I recall Bakker admitting his fraud when he was released from prison. Said he learned his lesson. And like the parole board in the movie Raising Arizona, they said "OK then" and released him. Evidently he learned the FDA doesn't regulate fraud per se.

There are actually ten circles of hell, Dante only saw nine, the tenth is reserved specifically just for televangelists--and it was too horrible for Dante to even write about in his Comedy.

So they nail a crooked TV preacher for touting fake COVID cures, but let politicians sell their snake oil with no consequences?

:scratch:

Michie · Sep 26, 2021

Since this is from March 2020, does anyone know whatever became of it?

He got off relatively easy.

Convicted fraudster Jim Bakker and his church are paying up over claims that a health supplement could cure COVID-19.

Bakker, 81, and his Missouri-based Morningside Church Productions Inc. agreed to a $156,000 settlement in a Tuesday court filing, the Associated Press reported. The settlement follows a lawsuit accusing the pastor of claiming a product called Silver Solution, a colloidal silver supplement, could cure the novel coronavirus on 11 episodes of his streaming TV series, “The Jim Bakker Show,” during February and March of 2020.

But as of June 1, Dr. Sherrill Sellman, a naturopathic physician, was the recipient of both for her promotion of colloidal silver — an unproven product that can cause serious side effects including permanent discoloration of the skin — as a way to prevent or even treat the coronavirus.

On March 11, the New York Attorney General’s office ordered Sellman to “immediately cease and desist from making misleading claims” following a guest appearance on the Jim Bakker Show in which she affirmed that the host’s Silver Solution supplement could potentially “eliminate” the coronavirus “within 12 hours.” (Eight days earlier, Bakker received his own cease-and-desist letter from the attorney general. Six weeks after the segment aired on Feb. 12, Bakker announced in a video that he was suspending sales of Silver Solution.)
